Iron-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles from 2-nitroanilines and benzylic alcohols

The iron-catalyzed heterocyclizations from 2-nitroanilines and benzylic alcohols to form benzimidazoles using hydrogen transfer reaction were investigated in this study. In the presence of dppf in toluene at 150 °C, various benzimidazoles were obtained in moderate to good yields within 24 h. The reaction was proposed to proceed via a cascade of alcohol oxidation, nitro reduction, condensation, and dehydrogenation.     

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of the Forssman Antigen Pentasaccharide and Derivatives by a One‐Pot Glycosylation Procedure

The synthesis and biological evaluation of the Forssman antigen pentasaccharide and derivatives thereof by using a one‐pot glycosylation and polymer‐assisted deprotection is described. The Forssman antigen pentasaccharide, composed of GalNAcα(1,3)GalNAcβ(1,3)Galα(1,4)Galβ(1,4)Glc, was recently identified as a ligand of the lectin SLL‐2 isolated from an octocoral Sinularia lochmodes. The chemo‐ and α‐selective glycosylation of a thiogalactoside with a hemiacetal donor by using a mixture of Tf₂O, TTBP and Ph₂SO, followed by activation of the remaining thioglycoside, provided the trisaccharide at the reducing end in a one‐pot procedure. The pentasaccharide was prepared by the α‐selective glycosylation of the N‐Troc‐protected (Troc=2,2,2‐trichloroethoxycarbonyl) thioglycoside with a 2‐azide‐1‐hydroxyl glycosyl donor, followed by glycosidation of the resulting disaccharide at the C3 hydroxyl group of the trisaccharide acceptor in a one‐pot process. We next applied the one‐pot glycosylation method to the synthesis of pentasaccharides in which the galactosamine units were partially and fully replaced by galactose units. Among the three possible pentasaccharides, Galα(1,3)GalNAc and Galα(1,3)Gal derivatives were successfully prepared by the established method. An assay of the binding of the synthetic oligosaccharides to a fluorescent‐labeled SLL‐2 revealed that the NHAc substituents and the length of the oligosaccharide chain were both important for the binding of the oligosaccharide to SLL‐2. The inhibition effect of the oligosaccharide relative to the morphological changes of Symbiodinium by SLL‐2, was comparable to their binding affinity to SLL‐2. In addition, we fortuitously found that the synthetic Forssman antigen pentasaccharide directly promotes a morphological change in Symbiodinium. These results strongly indicate that the Forssman antigen also functions as a chemical mediator of Symbiodinium.     

A study on the influence of the structure of the glycosyl acceptors on the stereochemistry of the glycosylation reactions with 2-azido-2-deoxy-hexopyranosyl trichloroacetimidates

The stereochemical outcome of glycosylations with 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-gluco- and D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidates as glycosyl donors has been investigated by using a series of chiro-inositol derivatives as glycosyl acceptors. The influence of the absolute configuration, the conformation and the conformational flexibility of the glycosyl acceptor has been studied by using different glycosyl donors under similar pre-established experimental conditions. Although the structure of the acceptor may play a role in governing the stereochemistry of these glycosylations, the results show that, in general terms, the relative influence of these factors is difficult to evaluate. For a given set of experimental conditions, the stereochemical course of these glycosylations depends on structural features of both glycosyl donor and glycosyl acceptor. It is a balance of these factors, where the structure of the glycosyl donor always plays a major role, which determines the stereochemistry of the coupling reaction. Therefore, the examples reported in the literature in which the structure of the glycosyl acceptor appears to be crucial in determining the stereochemistry of the reaction constitute particularly favorable cases which do not presently allow any further generalization.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and photoluminescence of 2,6-dimethylanthracene and its pseudo-triptycene derivatives

A simple one-step synthesis of 2,6-dimethylanthracene, 1, in high yield is reported utilizing the easily accessible benzyl alcohol as the starting material. Based on 2,6-dimethylanthracene, two pseudo-triptycene compounds, cis-2,6-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-endo-α,β-succinic anhydride, 2, and cis-2,6-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-endo-α,β-succinyl amine, 3, are firstly synthesized in high yield and they are characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 2 crystallizes in triclinic space group and compound 3 crystallizes in monoclinic P2₁/c space group. Both compound 2 and 3 exhibit cis-configurations and endo-conformations. Compound 1 exhibits very intense photoluminescence property due to the delocalized electron in the whole molecule, whereas fluorescence quench happens to some extents due to the destruction of the conjugated structure in compound 2.

甲基异丁基酮 (MIBK) 是一种重要的化学品, 广泛应用于涂料以及有机合成领域, 下游产品包括特种涂料溶剂、高品质脱蜡溶剂和高性能橡胶防老剂等. 近年来随国民经济的快速发展, 甲基异丁基酮的年需求量与价格逐年上升, 应用领域也不断拓宽. 因此, 开展 MIBK 绿色合成工艺的研究对提高原子经济性、打破国际技术壁垒以及满足国内市场需求具有重要意义. 目前生产 MIBK 最绿色、高效的生产方法是丙酮一步法, 包括缩合、脱水以及加氢等一系列反应过程, 该工艺顺利实施的关键在于所使用的催化剂. 根据丙酮一步法合成 MIBK 反应特点, 所用催化剂表面必须具备多种催化活性中 心, 从而保证缩合、脱水以及加氢反应的顺利进行, 实现从反应物到产物的高效转化. 因此, 高活性和高选择性多功能催化剂的制备是提高 MIBK 生产效率的有效途径.本文采用浸渍法将具有加氢活性的贵金属 Pd 负载在表面具有丰富酸性位点或碱性位点的固体酸或固体碱氧化物载体上, 制备了 Pd/MOx(M = Ti, Ce, Al, Si, La, Ca和Mg) 双功能催化剂, 并用于丙酮一步法合成 MIBK 反应中. 结果表明, Pd基金属-酸/碱双功能催化剂均可以催化该连串反应的进行, 其性能高于 Pd 基金属-酸双功能催化剂, 其中 Pd/MgO 催化剂上丙酮转化率为30.67%, MIBK 产率可达27.61%. 构效关系研究显示, 催化剂表面酸性位点和碱性位点对于该连串反应的各反应步骤催化性能有所不同, 其中碱性位点有利于丙酮缩合反应, 而酸性位点有利于二丙酮醇脱水反应, 且强路易斯碱性中心位点可以更好的催化缩合反应的进行, 同时中强度路易斯酸性中心位点具有最佳的催化脱水反应的能力. 此外, 表面具有最强路易斯碱性中心位点 Pd/La2O3催化剂并未表现出最高的MIBK产率, 说明在丙酮一步法合成MIBK反应中, Pd基双功能催化剂表面各位点间的协同对其催化性能具有重要的影响.本文进一步采用水热法和沉淀沉积法制备了系列MgTiOx、MgAlOx和CaTiOx二元复合氧化物 (MMO) 以及 CaMgAlOx和 TiMgAlOx三元MMO, 并以其为载体, 通过浸渍焙烧还原制备 Pd 基多功能催化剂, 并用于丙酮一步法合成MIBK反应中,发现Pd/MgAl-MMO多功能催化剂具有最高的催化活性及 MIBK 产率. 对其表面多功能位点数量进行调变, 并通过 XRD、CO2-TPD、NH3-TPD、吡啶红外、CO2红外和HRTEM等进行表征, 结果表明, 经过450 ℃焙烧酸碱中心摩尔量比为0.4的0.1%Pd/Mg3Al-MMO多功能协同催化剂三种催化活性中心位点协同作用最佳, 其丙酮转化率为38.20%, MIBK产率可达31.63%. Pd/Mg3AlMMO多功能协同催化剂三种活性位点接近性研究表明, 在多功能催化剂中分离酸中心活性位点、碱中心活性位点以及加氢活性位点后, 获得的双功能催化剂产率均明显下降, 说明Pd/Mg3Al-MMO多功能催化剂在三种活性位点相互接近时才能更好催化反应的进行. 根据多功能催化剂构效关系研究结果, 对各催化活性中心的密度及分布进行调控, 结果显示, 通过沉淀沉积法制备的Pd/Mg3Al-MMO催化剂性能进一步提高, 丙酮转化率为42.11%, 产率高达37.20%.
